Richmdnd District Club Will Petition the Board of Supervisors on Monday. Next Monday afternoon at the meet- Ing of the Board of Supervisors the Rich mond District Club will present a strong petition at the instigation of President Forsyth asking that the board will give orders that hereafter no burials shall be made in the City Cemetery. The Board of Health will support the petition, and it is probable from inform ation given by various members of the Board of Supervisors that they will act promptly on the matter in a manner fav orable to the members of the improve ment club. For months past resolution after resolution has been acted upon by the members of the club in the Richmond district, but up to the present time no conclusion as to what to do with the knotty problem has presented itself. At the last meeting of the club, however, the members agreed that the matter should be placed before the board and they are now confident that body will act in a favorable May. PEOPLE WILL WIN OVER SPRING VALLEY Six Supervisors Declare They Are Against Any Increase in the Water Rates i _ The Other Six Waiting for More "Testi= mony" and Unwilling to Say How They Will Vote. There seems every reason for believ- | ing that the people of San Francisco i will win in their effort to resist the an- j nual assault of the Spring Valley Wa- j ter Company. The corporation, as usual, desires an increase of the rates. It would exact from consumers enough j to make its gains more than 5 per cent . on the Investment, and 5 per cent is ! considered all that can justly be de manded. In fact, consumers here pay i more than asked in other places. For j a time it was feared that the company had won, or otherwise secured, the sup port of a majority of the Supervisors, but it has not. Six of the twelve de clare that there shall be no increase, while the views of the Mayor are well understood. So, unless Spring Valley's representatives have cards up their sleeves, their fight is lost. It is true that some Supervisors are still waiting ! for something they designate as "testi- j mony," but the other six make their j declarations against an Increase, and do not leave themselves an opportunity ; to change to the side of the monopoly. ' While Spring Valley is begging for the privilege of getting more money from consumers a natural interest is being taken in the attitude of the vari ous Supervisors. As a matter of fact the gentlemen who have the power to fix rates know the situation thorough ly. Their minds are already made up. If the Spring Valley Company wishes to put up an expensive building, in it- { self a source of revenue, and have cus tomers pay for it, the Supervisors can see through the scheme, and no amount of talk, however smooth, can change their views. If stockholders are desir ous of making more than 5 per cent on | an investment very little argument is required to establish their right to do so, or the reasons why they should not be permitted to do so. Hence when ! Supervisors declare they are waiting | for more testimony people will wonder I if it is the same sort of testimony they j were looking for when they failed for so many months to find a fender to which they could lend or upon which they could otherwise bestow their ap proval. It is remembered that last year dire threats were made of things ; which were to happen if rates were re- I duced. It is also remembered that I rates were reduced and that the dire ful happenings have yet to put in an appearance. The word of the company was not made good then. Possibly it j will not be made pood this time. An opinion prevails that some of the Su- ! pervisors are unduly alarmed, or try to think they are scared, when they are not. It is interesting to note what the Supervisors say, and easy to judge | from it where they stand. Here are a few excerpts from recent interviews: Supervisor Rivers — I will be en tirely guided by the testimony and the facts adduced before the board. Whence is the testimony to come? Who Is to stand sponsor for the facts? Supervisor Sheehan — I intend to live up to the pledge taken and I will be governed a good deal by the rep resentations offered us during the in quiry. Did Sheehan live up to his pledge last year? Also there is a curiosity as to the character of the representation STREET WORKERS TO BE LAID OFF Result of a Threatened Reduc tion of Ambrose's Ap propriation. He Says He Will Be Obliged to Aban don Projects for Needed Repairs. Supprlntondcnt of Streets Ambrose Is about to discharge the entire force now at work on the streets and sewers, owing to the action of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Ambrose states his position as fol lows: "The board has declared its intention to use up the greater portion of my uppro prlation in the paving of various streets that could well be held over until the next fiscal year. In spite of my protesta tions they are about to let contracts that will aggregate the sum of $25o,<Mp. They are as follows: For paving with bitu minous rock the city's portion of Oak and Stanyan streets, $25,000; improving Alamo Square, $13,000; repaying Market street, $25,000; repaying cobbled streets, $38,000; city's portion of Sunset district sewer, $15,000; for street sweeping, $135,000. To tal, $250,000. "While I am In hearty accord with the Supervisors as to the necessity, of per forming the above mentioned work i be lieve in first doing work on downtown streets and sewers thut is an absolute need. Streets that have long been neg lected in the business portion of the city where heavy hauling is constantly going on is in many place* in wretched condi tion and needs immediate attention. "The sewers of the lower portion of the city, also long neglected, are choked and in need of immediate relief. For the past four months night watches have been working to get these into some kind of shape. In fact, the situation at present in the lower portion of town is such that should a heavy storm come on the result would be the flooding of all of the cellars In the wholesale districts. With the backing of the tides and the excessive drain of storm water it would be impossible for the water to run off. Year after year the cel lars of the lower portion of town have suffered from the overflowing sewers, and it is to- remedy this evil that 1 am striving no hard, but the cutting off of this appro priation in the manner contemplated by the Board of Supervisors will so cripple my department that the work must be abandoned, and great damage will result. "I have warned the Supervisors of the situation and requested that these pro posed improvements go over until after July, and with the money now allowed my department I would be able to fix the streets and sewers of the business portion of the town. Complaints are constantly coming to my department, and I want the blame for any damage done to rest where it belongs— with the Board of Su pervisors." A list of the sewers in need of repairs and their condition shows that many, particularly along the water front, are almost In a state of collapse, In the which would serve as a guide to Sheehan. Supervisor Delany — I will be in a better position to judge . . . when the company has had an opportunity to be heard. In other words, the distinguished captain is on the fence, and by a little adroitness the company may knock him off on the side where he will do it the most good. Supervisor Haskins — I decline to express an opinion. Why? Supervisor Devany — It would be too soon to ask me how I should act in the matter. There Is not much to say here either. Once more the one word "Why" seems to cover the case. Supervisor Britt — I will be gov erned by the circumstances as they are presented before me. And the presentation will be attend ed to by emissaries of Spring Valley. Britt has the reputation of recogniz ing the side of his bread which has butter. But there are Supervisors who do not seem undecided. Spring Valley does not hold them in the hollow of its hand, if the figure is pardonable. They are not waiting to be convinced, but, having the power of thought, are not afraid to state the conclusions they have reached. Excerpts from what they have said are of a different tone from the quotations above. Some of these follow: Supervisor Smith — I am opposed to any increase in existing rates. Mr. Smith has been detained from business by serious illness in his fam ily, and extended views could hardly be expected from him. Supervisor Morton — Under no circumstances will I vote for an in crease of rates. Evidently the necessity of •waiting for "testimony" has not struck Mr. Morton. Supervisor Dodge — I stand as I did one year ago when the question was before us. Yet Mr. Dodge has Just as much in formation in the matter as the other members who are praying for it. Supervisor Rottanzi — I will favor the same rates as I did last year. What? And Spring Valley with that elegant new building to pay for? Surely the doctor grows hard hearted. Supervisor Clinton — I will cer tainly not vote to increase the rates. Here is a chance for Spring Valley to undertake some missionary work; but the field Is not promising. Supervisor Lackmann — I am in fa vor of a reduction. Now, can Spring Valley look upon this as anything short of treason? While it begs for more Mr. Lackmann advocates giving it less, and he is not waiting for its instructions and does not look to its representatives for counsel. Lackmann is in immi nent danger of acquiring popularity. But if he goes on in this way Spring Valley will never regard him as a proper man to have a voice in the management of public affairs. residence portions of the city, too, repairs are badly needed. Go to O'Brien & Sons for modern style, high-grade surreys, phaetons and buggies at low prices. Corner Golden Gate ave nue and Polk street. • To Visit the President.
